At Leominster Primary School we have three spacious and well resourced reception classrooms, each with a toilet area attached. Classes have their own designated outdoor undercover area, as well as sharing a large playground with markings to encourage learning through play. Reception and Nursery share a grass area fenced off from the playground with large sandpits and a brand-new activity trail!
Each day children have access to milk, water and fruit/vegetables as well as having the opportunity to take up a free school meal at lunch time! All children have access to a range of tasty lunches that will need to be pre ordered.
The Early Years curriculum focusses on the development of young minds. Children are taught through fun filled topics that stimulate the imagination and curiosity of our young learners. Our teachers plan a topic based curriculum and activities and learning questions are often driven by children's interests and include both child intiated learning as well as adult led activities. In addition, children have the opportunity to explore both indoors and out! For more information, please scroll down.
The relationship between home and school is a crucial aspect of your childs educational journey. We send letters via MCAS, updates via Tapestry and regularly update our website to keep you fully informed. In addition, our staff are approachable and are eager to get to know you as well as your children. If you would like to speak to your child's teacher they are usually available at the start of the day, the end of the day or you can arrange a meeting with them for a time to suit you both. You can contact the school via telephone and/ or email.

In the EYFS at Leominster Primary School we aim to construct a curriculum that is purposeful, ambitious and designed to give children the knowledge, self-belief and cultural capital (life skills) they need to succeed in life and becoming independent learners. This will enable children to develop their resilience, ability to take risks and take pride in their own achievements. We expand children’s knowledge and experiences through the seven areas of learning. Our curriculum is purposeful and creates awe & wonder. Children are motivated to become enthusiastic within their learning and prepares them for school life and beyond.
